I Always Like Cool Analogies To Explain Things In A Different Way And I Think It Really Helps Shed Light On The Issue So I Thought I'd Give - Tumblr Posts
A simple sexuality/gender analogy
Heterosexuality: I have blond hair and I like people with brown hair.
Homosexuality: I have blond hair and I like people with blond hair.
Bisexuality: I have blond hair and I like people with blond or brown
Pansexuality: I have blond hair and I don't really care what someone's hair color is. When deciding if I like someone, I tend to focus more on their eye color as opposed to their hair color.
Asexual: I have blond hair and I don't real attraction to any particular hair color. I can appreciate the aesthetic but I, myself, do not feel that attraction.
Cis-gender: I was born with blond hair and I feel it suits me.
Transgender: I was born with blond hair but I find myself to be a brunette and so I dye my hair and do not associate with having blond hair.
Bigender: I was born with blond hair, but I don't always feel like a blond, and so I sometimes dye my hair brown or I have bits of both and I do not associate with simply having blond hair.
Non-binary: I was born with blond hair but I don't feel like a blond or a brunette, so I dye my hair red and do not associate with having blond hair.
Agender/genderless: I was born with blond hair but I do not think of myself as a blond or any other hair color and so I choose to shave my head and do not associate with having blond hair.
Questioning: I was born with blond hair, but sometimes I don't feel like it suits me but I'm still not sure which hair color I want. I may sometimes dye my hair different colors just to see how I like them, or I may just keep my blond hair for the time being so that no one thinks I'm weird.
(**A comment on gender: If you knew someone with blond hair but they decided to dye it whatever color they wanted, would you comment on it? If someone had blue hair, would you tell them that it's not real because its unnatural? Would you tell a dyed brunette that it was a shame for them to ruin their nice blond hair? Then why would you tell a trans-man that he was such a pretty girl? Why would you tell someone who dyed their hair red that it looks ridiculous and they're just making it up and it's unnatural?)
